Can I transfer data from the IMDS to the

CAMDS system?

IMDS data can only be transferred to “FURTHER CLIENT(S)” that are using the data solely for regulatory / compliance reporting purposes.

Only IMDS Advanced Interface (AI) USERS can

transfer data to “FURTHER CLIENT(S).”

“FURTHER CLIENT as defined in the IMDS Terms of Use, specifies the conditions a recipient system must satisfy. CAMDS does not currently satisfy these conditions.”

PROCEED WITH

CAUTION

It is prohibited to use IMDS data for any of the following reasons: Production of Technical Data Sheets

Safety Data Sheets (SDS)

Research Studies (Cost & Market)

Quality Evaluations

CAMDS does not have systems / rules in place that honor the protection of Intellectual Proprietary data

IMDS data USERS are bound to honor the protection of Intellectual Proprietary data

Can I transfer data from the IMDS to the

CAMDS system?

• The answer = NO

• By accepting the “Terms of Use” in IMDS you are bound to those terms. Transferring data from IMDS to CAMDS could potentially lead to legal liability

issues including prosecution.

• DO NOT TRANSFER DATA FROM IMDS TO CAMDS

Can I transfer data from the IMDS to the

CAMDS system?

Suggestions for complying to your customer(s) request for CAMDS reporting:

Contact your supplier(s) and request they enter their material data in CAMDS:

Use CAMDS MDS Request functionality

Request supplier data CAMDS submission via e-mail communication

Remember……If they are not registered users of CAMDS, you will be required to register them as your supplier in CAMDS

With the intent to protect your and your suppliers intellectual proprietary data, solicit supplier raw data then enter your organization’s final product data in CAMDS using a Flat BoM approach.

How do I comply with CAMDS

submission requests?
